Lock Screens - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Updated GS4 to Kitkat w/ root via Safestrap method from Tom's youtube. My phone defaults to swipe lock screen. When I go to set lock screen everything is grayed out stating Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage. PIN and Password are not grayed but I set a PIN and it doesn't prompt me to enter. I want to set at least a pattern unlock. Any advice?

It won't even show a "Forgot pin option or a restore option with Google account"
I'm using Omega v42
Not sure which pin lock you are referring to, but just go in to recovery and factory reset.
which will remove all the apps and data

Yup it did, that's why I was hoping if anyone could come up with some other way of doing it..
Anyway thanks nonetheless
There is no other way - if you choose a security feature, you expect it to offer some countermeasure. As you have found.
Don't forget to hit thanks...
could've tried formatting /system and reflashing the rom - should've worked, and the apps would be intact

Forgotten pattern unlock, fingerprint works

I can unlock my phone OK with my fingerprint, but I can't remember my pattern unlock (well, I think I can, but the phone doesn't accept it). I need the pattern to modify the fingerprint unlock, e.g. to add more fingers. Anyone know how to reset the pattern when fingerprint is working OK?
I'm on stock .253.

Well This Is Very Easy To Fix .
Follow The Steps:
1) Identify the Gmail registered with the device.
2) Check whether "Android Device Manager" is enabled in Settings-> Security -> Device Administrators if not enabled ,then enable it .
3) Login to Device Manager
https://www.google.co.in/android/devicemanager
4) There you will find an option to "Lock the device" . Lock it with new Password/Pattern.
That's It
Hope It Helps

Thanks. I think this would have worked, or I could have used myxperia.sonymobile.com similarly. Unfortunately I rebooted the phone, and it turns out, even with fingerprint enabled, that it needs a pattern to unlock the first time after rebooting! I had to wipe it with Xperia Companion (there seems to be no on-device recovery user interface that we can use), which was annoying.
I've now set it up again and made very sure I knew the pattern before adding fingerprints!

(SOLVED)'To start android, draw your pattern/password' at every boot

I've recently unlocked my bootloader (official method), installed twrp and flashed custom roms along with magisk on my redmi note 4 (mido).
However every time I boot or enter twrp recovery it asks me "To start your android, draw your pattern/password", every time I have to draw the pattern and proceed. Any way I could avoid it at every boot? because it takes long to boot and it's kinda annoying. I know its related to encryption, i have already tried factory reset and wiped internal storage through twrp but nothing works. Also no option to disable encryption in settings>security>encryption. Flashing lazy flasher doesn't work either.
Any help would be much appreciated, Thank you.

Format data via twrp, that'll decrypt the device.
Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
When you choose your screen unlock method, you select "no thanks" on the secure start-up page ( as shown here ).
Also, turning on an accessibility service will disable that too.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I tried "fastboot format userdata" comand and it worked.
Please can you tell me how to use fastboot format userdata command , As i am facing same issue. Pls help.

This will remove any security like PIN etc. But if your device is encrypted then you have to Format DATA.

Oh boy!!!
Formatting remove encryption and also delete all data so it's absolutely not required for that "issue" (which is not an issue in fact).
It's "secure boot" it's possible to simply disable it in the settings, instead of asking pin or pattern, one should select none, and that's all, no more "secure boot" and it won't ask anymore for pin or password after boot...
Go to "Settings", select "Security and Location". next, select "Screen lock" then choose your current screen lock type. after that a page will popup asking you to secure start up, select no and enter your current password to disable.
wink wink... that simply does it.
Hi.. I am presently on MIUI10 Global stable.
When I unlock bootloader, install treble recovery ( redwolf twrp) and flash any custom ROM, the device boots and works fine.
But if then again I boot to recovery, data and storage is encrypted and cannot be accessed. No screenlock has been set. Recovery not asking for unlock password also. It just says mounting failed.

Samsung FRP lock SM-G925F

Hello everyone,
My S6 Edge is FRP locked because of a hard reset via the standard recovery.
Now is my question, how can I get rid of the FRP lock?
I've already tries multiple things, like:
- Flash a custom recovery (Can't because of RL lock (Reactivation Lock))
- Install factory binary to try a new method (Can't because there's no binary for my binary security level: RP SWREV: B:6 K:2 S:2)
- Install a stock rom with USB debugging enabled (Doesn't work, because for some reason ADB commands do not work...)
Hope you can help me!

So you have access to the device? In other words, you can use the device (open apps, play videos etc.) and just want to disable FRP but it wont let you? Did I get that right?

But no, I don't have access to ky device. Only the configuration screem which you get when your phone comes new out of the box or after a factory reset.
Within the configuration screen I can't go any further than login of the Samsung account. Because it won't let me login
I need a way to bypass this, otherwise I will not be able to use my phone anymore...

So you know your credentials but the phone refuses to accept it? If so, open Google on your PC and type in Samsung - Find my mobile. Log into your account, choose your S6 and select Unlock Reactivation lock. Make sure that the phone is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
If you forgot your Samsung credentials click reset password on the login screen (on your PC) and repeat the steps above.
Hope it helps

I just checked your claims and I don't see an option to disable FRP on my S6 edge using Google's method. It can erase and lock the device but it doesn't have the power to disable FRP. On the other hand Samsung's find my phone site has the FRP disable button. I wish to point out again that the phone explicitly asked for the Samsung account. If it wanted Google's info it would have asked. I could be wrong but I'm just saying what I'm seeing.

Yeah I know it's asking for Samsung account. But FRP lock is down to google. Remove Google account = FRP lock disabled. FRP lock and reactivation lock are different. If he can't get passed Samsung account the very easiest way is to just reset Samsung account credentials.

Aha, okay then, sorry for the misuse of words. But still in a nutshell FRP and Reactivation lock are the same thing. Both still block the circumvention of the stock ROM if it's enabled. I think that the author of this topic meant to say Reactivation lock tbh

I've done that already a long time ago. But simply resetting my Samsung account password isn't going to cut it.
My phone has been reset via the standard Samsung recovery menu. After that the phone boots up like it's totally new.
So you have to go through the configuration menu for the phone.
At the part where I have to fill in my Samsung account credentials it fails to advance because of Samsung's FRP lock which I still haven't been able to bypass.

But if you are entering the correct details then it should pass the reactivation lock. So long as you use the same Samsung account you had logged in before you reset. So if you reset the credentials for that account you should be able to log in and pass the lock after.

Question [SOLVED] Messed Up Screen Resolution...

Hi, so I was playing with ADB and changing screen resolution, I changed it to 50x100 and my device just rebooted. Now I can't access anything because the screen is so small.
Is there any way to reset the screen resolution without a hard reset?
Note: I can access bootloader/recovery mode
bootloader is unlocked?

No, I tried installing an update through ADB, sdcard, or a custom bootloader, nothing worked.
unless you can connect TV or something there is no way other than factory reset.

Can you connect to TV? I tried using scrcpy to view the screen on pc but ADB doesn't connect if phone isn't unlocked.
I think adb will work on lock screen, because I have unlocked pattern with scrcpy myself. most likely it doesn't boot. to my excuse must confess that devices were not encrypted, maybe your device behaves different.

Yea... It was working before my phone rebooted after I changed the resolution, now when I run "adb devices" it shows nothing.
I have a Moto G Power (2021) and it won't connect ADB if the screen is locked.
What kind of lock do you have? Pattern, Pin or Paswword.
You should be able to type with a OTG keyboard.
Actually, even if you use a swipe pattern, there are ways to get that.
How did you set screen size? wm size?
Ha, You nearly did me in. I set my lock pattern to one that practically can not be done by a human.
Unfortunately the vertical position of the set lock pattern is not the same as the main unlock pattern.
It took me 10 minutes to unlock my device.

The only reward for failure is a factory reset...
The biggest problem is that it doesn't actually show where you are touching.
I'm trying to unlock it again with the display set to 800x360 res instead of 1600x720.
Edit: I did get it unlocked. Still, with 50 x 100 it could be tough.
don't forget the sim pin...

Mmm, you have to use my usbcfg (also not listed yet) to configure the USB to adb,hid
You can run it as an init service or just as a shell command but you'll need to be rooted.
You'll also need to chmod 666 /dev/hidg0 or use ueventd.rc

By any chance can I root or do anything at all with bootloader locked?
I tried getting the UNIQUE_KEY needed for oem unlock, but it said I needed to enable oem unlocking at developer options, which I can't access.
unlocking bootloader forces factory reset. again why don't you buy OTG hub??

I'm losing context here.
All that usbcfg stuff I was talking about is to use on a separate Android if you needed to pattern unlock a different Android.
If you've got the screen lock still stuck you'll have to do that first before you start talking about rooting.
I think all it needs is adb shell wm size reset
